tau.dist

tau.dist,matrix-method

tau.dist,ExpressionSet-method

n by p matrix or ExpressionSet; if x is an ExpressionSet, then the function uses its 'exprs' slot.

arguments passed to <code>tau.dist</code>:
    <ul>
<li>absif TRUE, then 1-|TAU| else 1-TAU; default is TRUE.
      </li>
<li>diagif TRUE, then the diagonal of the distance matrix will be
      displayed; default is FALSE. 
      </li>
<li>upperif TRUE, then the upper triangle of the distance matrix
      will be displayed; default is FALSE. 
      </li>
<li>samplefor the ExpressionSet method: if TRUE (the default), then
      distances are computed between samples. 
    </li>
</ul><p></p><p>  </p>


 Calculate pairwise Kendall's tau correlational distances, 
 i.e. 1-TAU or 1-|TAU|, 
 for all rows of the input matrix and return an instance of the 
 <code>dist</code> class.
